Callie's Limerick
Just because she's here in my face
Callie's Limerick
There once was a cat from the farm
she really meant no harm
mostly, she was sweet
just wanted to eat
but when hungry, she lost all her charm!
************************************
My daughter took in Callie as an older kitten from a farm where we buy our hay. She lives indoors now and we feed her tasty cat food, but she is also a great hunter and loves to stalk the critters and bugs that get into our basement.
She also likes to be around her people when she chooses. She used to be quite aloof. She has turned into quite the socialite over the last couple of years. And she has decided hanging out on my desk when I'm trying to type is the best - especially leaping over my keyboard! Above is a rare picture of the princess actually still for a moment.

Day #4: Writing Challenge
CHALLENGE #1: OBJECT WRITING Day 4/14 “WHAT” Writing 5 minutes – “curb” I tripped over the curb while walking and watching some other people with a dog on a leash. I went sprawling to the stony concrete, hoping no one saw as I got back to my feet and dusted off my scraped up hands. I could still see the furry black dog panting. He looked happy. The couple were oblkivious to me or the dog, caught up in convrsation and loving ghazes.

Spiders
I have a spider in my shower. I have taken a shower in there three times despite this knowledge and it haunts me between each drop of water, each brush against the wall or showerhead. I do not know where it lurks. I saw it once and since then it has maintained a steady hidden location, to which my eyes only half-heartedly search.
